Echoes of Revolution

Once in the Governor's garden, you find a secluded corner, ready to either plan your next step or make a discreet retreat.With a confident smile, you elevate your glass and shout a rousing tribute to the King, sparking a wave of applause and laughter throughout the hall. In the ensuing distraction, you subtly steer Ashcroft’s focus toward a more pressing matter at hand.You reach out as if to steady yourself and "accidentally" collide with the servant carrying wine, spilling the glasses everywhere.
